Notes:
This is a new tombstone. Three of the above were children of Nicholas Blacklock and Margaret Rebecca Patterson Douglass. In a journal, now in the possession of Mrs. Francis French Deane, which was written by her great grandfather, a doctor in the county (Dr. James Brown Walker), appears the following: “Obstetrical Cases 1864, No. 123, Mrs. Douglas 10 September 1864, Male Child. Too late for birth. Both doing well. Daytime.” This may have been Margaret Rebecca Douglass and the child may have been John Wheeler Douglass. The dates and areas would agree.
